The Major's off for a trip in his hot air balloon. It looks like Pat is hitching a ride

This charming tale of love, friendship, and community follows Charlie the postman in his adventures around town. When fun-loving Charlie loses his spirit after his wife passes away, his friends suggest he get a dog. Unfortunately, Lucy--the dog Charlie picks--hates postmen. With the help of his neighbors, Charlie tricks Lucy into thinking that he's just an ordinary guy by performing everyday tasks like gardening and laundry--and she excitedly hops in his basket for a ride around town to deliver the mail. Vibrant illustrations and a warm, compassionate story make this a delightful picture book for young children.

First published in 1998, this story has a festive feel. Greendale is expecting a white Christmas. But Dr Gilbertson and Pat are worried about a very special delivery. Jenny is expecting a baby, but the roads are blocked by snow and the ambulance can't make it up the hill. Pat has a plan, everyone helps and the day is saved.

Postman Pat is back with some great ideas for recycling week.

The seaside comes to Greendale in this sandy adventure.
